No Longer Trapped

April 17, 2008

By Taylor G., edgartown, MA

I am a trapped artist- Worried what others will think, Afraid of what others will say. I feel as if I cant express myself the way I want to so much. As I dip my paintbrush in and spread the paint around the paper- Others just see a simple image- But to me a world, a fairytale, a life I will always have and carry on forever more. I felt trapped but now I am not- I now live in a world where I can paint, draw and express myself in ways- Impeccable to others, I am in a place I have only been dreaming about forever. I am not a trapped artist but a flowing, flying, dreaming artist, For I have unlocked a secret world where I can be just what I want to be, A true artist.
